Chapter Eighty-Seven: Young and Reckless
Today he finally changed out of the coarse cloth clothes on his body, and put on a pale blue robe, on which were embroidered with silver thread a few red-crowned cranes flying high. The head full of green silk was tied with a jade crown, revealing a full and smooth forehead. The delicate face of natural carving is completely exposed.
Mrs. Xu got out of the carriage, hurriedly stepped forward to pull Mo Yanxi, and then pulled Xu Ruojin over, and said, "Miss Mo, this is my son, Xu Ruojin." ”
Mo Yanxi looked at her for a long time, saw Xu Ruojin smiling at her, and then said: "It turns out that he is Xu Gongzi, he is really a talent, and he is deeply hidden." ”
When Mrs. Xu heard this, she was happy in her heart, but she said: "Where is a talent, he is just a gentleman, just a little knowledge, our Xu family does not expect him to be famous in Jinghua, as long as he can live in peace and stability." ”
"It's cold, I'm afraid it's going to snow again, uncle, madam. Let's go inside, I found some good wine a few days ago, just waiting to have a few drinks with you today. ”
As soon as he heard the good wine, Xu Zili's eyes lit up, touched his chin, and said with a smile: "Oh! Or you kid understands me, since there is good wine, then let's hurry. ”
After speaking, everyone entered the house and went straight to the main hall, because it was Chinese New Year's Eve, so every family did not want to go out, and they all had a meal at home, and then kept the New Year together until dawn.
Everyone sat down, and Su Changqing hurriedly beckoned the waiter to serve the wine.
"Because I don't know what you like to eat, I've made some of the sweet and sour things today, if I leave my uncle, Mrs. and Xu Gongzi feel that it doesn't suit my taste, Changqing will let people do it again."
In the main hall, the doors and windows were wide open, and there were two large charcoal stoves on the left and right sides of the room, and the charcoal fire inside was so strong that you couldn't feel the slightest chill.
"You kid, how can we be so hypocritical, I see that you are very well prepared, you are not very old, you are already able to act so steadily, I think your mother can rest assured, she must be very worried about not going back for the New Year this year."
When Su Changqing heard this, he got up and personally poured wine for the two elders of the Xu family, and then said: "Uncle, Mrs. likes it, my brother and I are away from home, and after a long time, my mother should have been used to it for a long time, and there are letters exchanged every month to make her feel at ease." ”
Mrs. Xu listened, and the more she looked at Su Changqing, the more she liked it, and then turned her head to see the rebel who was lowering her head and gnawing on the chicken legs, and she was instantly angry.
Mrs. Xu patted Xu Ruojin on the shoulder suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "Sister Su is really a blessing, although she is an old man, but these two sons are the dragon and phoenix among the people, they must be the ones who did good deeds and accumulated virtue in their previous lives, this is why they have such a fate, unlike me!" conceived in October, worried every day, and finally gave birth to a rebel! If I had known this was the case, I would..."
Mrs. Xu took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. Xu Ruojin got a mouthful of meat stuck in his throat and couldn't swallow it. Hurriedly drank a glass of wine, turned his head and said with a smile: "Mother, I look at these two sons of the Su family's aunt and I also like them very much, if you think that your son can't take it, you will recognize these two sons as godsons in the future, the aunt of the Su family is beautiful and gentle, she will definitely agree." ”
When Mrs. Xu heard this, her face was gloomy, and she immediately scolded: "Okay, you turtle grandson, I didn't dislike you, my mother, but you disliked me, and now you don't even recognize me and your father?" You have no conscience, I'm pulling you up with a handful of and a handful of urine! Now that the wings are stiff, the quasi-head doesn't recognize people?! ”
“……”
The more Mrs. Xu spoke, the more angry she became, seeing that Xu Ruojin didn't care, she was drinking and eating by herself, reaching out and grabbing his ear, which hurt Xu Ruojin so much that she screamed.
Xu Zili saw that the two of them were so rude, and hurriedly coughed to remind him. When the mother and son saw this, they let each other go and sat down obediently.
Xu Zili rubbed his thighs, feeling too embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "This... It's all because I'm too pampered on weekdays, which makes them look nothing, it's because I'm incompetent in training and have no way to teach my children! A few Haihan, Haihan! ”
Hearing this, Su Changqing hurriedly said: "Where is the uncle, such a lively atmosphere, we can't envy it." Mrs. is heroic, not like the small jasper in the boudoir, the son is free and easy, not formal, and lives casually, it must be wanton! ”
The smile on Mrs. Xu's face was even bigger: "Su boy is so good at talking, our two families have been friends for many years, I still remember when I was a child, Changfeng and my family were good at playing, they were inseparable, and they had to walk together every day." When others see it, they say it's like a brother! ”
As soon as these words came out, Su Changfeng and Xu Ruojin were stunned at the same time, Mo Yanxi looked left and right, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Madame, what I said is right, when I went to visit the house with the second son of Su that day, I heard the second son talk about it, and it must be that he has a deep friendship with the son of Xu." ”
Su Changqing echoed very tacitly: "Yes, Changfeng has always talked little, and people don't remember, but the time with Xu Gongzi, even after so many years, still remembers it clearly." It must be a deep friendship. ”
Xu Zili and Mrs. Xu were very relieved when they heard this. In this life, people must have some brothers who have passed their lives to feel complete.
Su Changfeng saw a few people talking left and right, and finally couldn't help it, and snorted coldly: "I have a deep friendship with him?" If this is true, then it must be a blood feud! Implacable! ”
Of course, Xu Ruojin didn't admit defeat, put down his chopsticks, raised his head high, and said: "That's right, father, mother, I don't have friendship with him, then hate!" Old feud! Deep vendetta! ”
Several people saw that the two of them looked fierce, but there was no killing intent in their eyes, and the two of them were like two children who had not grown up, arguing.
"You two boys, it's really more unforgiving than the other, I remember that at that time, the two were still half a big little bit, one was more noisy than the other, chasing and playing all day long, and then during the Lantern Festival, the two of them actually fell in love with a rabbit lantern at the same time. Because it was sold to the end, there was only this one left, and the two of them didn't let anyone, snatched it back and forth, and finally sprinkled the lamp oil, and the rabbit lamp burned, and the two were so angry that they began to fight. ”
Mrs. Xu said, as if she remembered the funny scene at the time, and continued: "They are still children, where can they make any moves, they just hammer each other with their little hands, anyway, they hit each other from the street, both of them have blue noses and swollen faces, and they still don't know the winner, I remember the end, it seems that Changfeng pushed Ruojin to the ground, picked up his clothes and bit him several times, maybe it hurt to bite." Ruojin cried and admitted defeat. ”
"Mother! It's been a long time, and you're still talking about it. There is no shame in losing people. ”
Xu Ruojin scratched his head and lowered his head embarrassedly.
As for Su Changfeng, although this matter is disgraceful, the final outcome is that he won.
Now that the old things are brought up again, he said: "It's his kid who can't do it, when he was young, he was soft and weak, and he hasn't changed a little when he grows up." Like a little girl. ”
Xu Ruojin rolled her eyes and retorted, "Little girl? I think you should look in the mirror and take a good look at your own face, no matter how you look, you are the one who looks like a little girl. ”
Seeing that the two of them started again, Mrs. Xu hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, maybe you don't remember this in the end." Because of Ruojin's crying, Mrs. Su felt distressed, and took the bamboo stick to Changfeng's buttocks and pumped it, until Changfeng also cried, then she gave up, and finally, the two of you brothers lay on the bed and hugged each other and cried for a long time before falling asleep, and then turned their faces and didn't recognize anyone from the next day. ”
"Nonsense!"
"Impossible!"
After Mrs. Xu finished speaking, Xu Ruojin and Su Changfeng almost vetoed it in unison.
The more Mo Yanxi listened, the more interesting it became, and he couldn't help laughing: "In the past, Su Ergongzi was powerful, but a few days ago, I was fortunate to see Xu Gongzi in Xu's house, although it was a wooden sword, it was also extremely smooth, the swordsmanship was proficient, and the moves were novel, so now, I'm afraid it's hard to say." ”
Mrs. Xu listened, and quickly recalled the scene of that day, and seemed to have sent Xu Ruojin to sweep the yard, at that time her son happened to be sloppy and unkempt...
The more I thought about Mrs. Xu, the more I felt very remorseful, I originally thought that I could find a good marriage for my son, but now I am afraid that I will give up.
"That's... It turns out that you have already met, I said, if I go back and always talk about meeting a very different beautiful girl today, I thought it was who, but it was a coincidence, it was all fate. ”
Xu Ruojin felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly explained: "When did I say that I met a beautiful girl?" Besides, after sweeping the yard that day, I got a gold ingot, went out early to drink, and came back the next day. ”
Xu Ruojin said, raised his eyes and looked at the girl who was sitting next to Mo Yanxi without saying a word, and said hesitantly: "Besides, even if it is an extremely beautiful and unusual girl, it should be this girl from the Feng family, when I tried with her, I tried my best and lost." ”
"Lost?!"
Xu Ruojin said something earlier, Xu Zili didn't hear it in his heart, he only heard the sentence, his son lost, and he lost to a girl.
Xu Zili followed his gaze and looked at the wind fan from above, until he finally understood something when he saw the simple and unpretentious silver knife on the table.
"Do you have it today? How many years have passed, Xu Ruojin, you still can't do it. ”
When Su Changfeng heard this, he was in a good mood, clasped his hands to his chest, and gloated with a face of schadenfreude.
"Changfeng, I still remember that you didn't even have a chance to make a move in front of Miss Feng, why are you embarrassed to look at other people's jokes now?"
Su Changfeng coughed lightly to hide the embarrassment after being exposed: "I... What did I say? Of course the wind girl is amazing, I was at that time because the sky was too dark, which affected my vision, if it were changed to today, there would definitely not be such a thing. ”
The corners of Su Changqing's mouth hooked up a wicked smile: "In this case, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, or you and Young Master Xu have a fair and honest competition, regardless of victory or defeat, point to point." How is it? ”
"Me? Compared to his kid? Who's afraid of whom, whoever admits it today is a puppy! ”
Su Changfeng rolled up his sleeves, got up, and walked out of the main hall first.
